This unit covers the parts of speech, the fundamental grammar we need to learn and understand English. These include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, gerunds, pronouns, and all the sub-types as well. Although we grow up speaking English with correct grammar, are not taught all the rules, and thus it is hard to teach them to others off the top of our heads without further study. Every single part of speech plays a role in understanding what’s going on in a sentence. Whether it be who or what we are talking about, at what time or place, and more details about the subject and object of our sentence, we would be left lacking information about what is going on. Something as simple as mistaking "a" for "the" can change the entire meaning to a sentence.
To a new learner there is probably a lot of confusion about something like gerund. Most would consider words like “swimming” or “singing” to only be verbs, not knowing they act as a noun after another verb, such as in the sentence, “I enjoy singing ballads.” I think grammar becomes difficult when there lacks uniformity in the rules. Most of the irregular verb conjugations are different from the others, so English learners it will take time to remember them all. I learned of the various types of adverbs, as some of the words and categories I wasn’t sure which part of speech they belonged to, such as adverbs of degree. I also think with some learners, possessive pronouns versus possessive adjectives must be often mistaken, as there is such a subtle difference between mine and my, hers and her, etc.
